Same here.
I use the cheapest available reader, a blue blob called> "PC-line". I recollect it cost 7 GBP. I also use one
of the same brand for SD cards. The only problem is the need to reboot when switching between types of media
(though I am told the usb can be reset without rebooting
- I forget how and have been too lazy to look it up).
While I'm fairly sure that a large proportion of the readers of this list already know all of what comes next, just incase there are any newbies who are interested <G>...
The only way I know of doing it is to "mount" and "unmount" the flash memory just like I do a cdrom.
What I did was:
su - [to get to root, of course] cd / mkdir cflash cd /etc nano /etc/fstab
Then in fstab I just put the line:
/dev/sda1 /cflash vfat defaults,rw,user,noauto,gid=50,umask=002,exec 0 2
[all on one line, of course. *sigh* wordwrap gets you every time.]
Note: This line DOES assume that you have sda1 available, if you don't then use whatever sd you have available. I also have such links for two more flash cards at sdb1 and sdc1.
Then if you don't have "usb-storage" compiled into your kernal, do a
"sudo modprobe usb-storage"
and as long as your system is up you can just do a
mount /cflash to access your flash card. umount /cflash to dismount your flash card and switch.
